What to do
Fishing access: Russell Brook Campsites provides direct water access from many sites. "Our site was massive (39) and had direct access to Russell Brook. Couldn't keep my son out of the water," notes one camper at Russell Brook Campsites.
River activities: Paddle sports are popular during summer months when water levels permit. "Great river based location (Delaware River)... I know this controversial, but having Wi-Fi would be great esp when camping w/ kids," mentions a visitor at Soaring Eagle Campground and the Inn at Kellam's Bridge.
Local exploration: The region offers farm visits, craft markets, and historic sites within short drives. "Jones dale was a short drive and they had a nice community celebration capped off with a great fireworks show," reports a visitor who stayed at Keen Lake Resort Campground.
What campers like
Large, well-spaced sites: Many campgrounds maintain larger than average camping plots. "The sites are larger than most campgrounds and well spaced out. I have been there on busy holiday weekends where it was full but still peaceful and private," explains a camper at Soaring Eagle Campground.
Lake recreation: Keen Lake Resort Campground offers multiple water activity options. "We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. Each day we would paddle over to the swimming area on the lake. It was awesome," shares one visitor.
Peaceful environment: Weekdays offer especially quiet experiences. "Great location with nice riverside spots. Weekdays are quiet, weekends not so much," notes a camper at Peaceful Valley Campsite.
What you should know
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between campgrounds. "Bathrooms were very clean every time we needed them, and they were easy to access from the tent sites," reports a visitor at Happy Days Campground.
Seasonal operation: Most cabin camping locations near Long Eddy operate on restricted schedules. "We have been to happy days campground twice now. Last summer and this summer and again was not disappointed," notes a return visitor, highlighting the importance of checking operating dates.
Shop hours: Camp stores may have limited hours, especially off-peak. "The general store isn't always open which can get annoying at times," mentions a camper at Roscoe Campsites.
Site surfaces: Some cabin sites have concrete pads while others are more natural. "The ground is worn over and very rocky. If you visit, bring incredibly thick sleeping pads or air mattresses if you want to sleep semi-comfortably," advises a tent camper.
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Roscoe Campsites offers multiple family options. "The farm, playground, beach, and shallow river make it a great, easy entry point for new and younger campers," explains a family visitor.
Kid-friendly programming: Some locations offer structured activities for children. "They have activity coordinators that make sure there is something to do for all ages every hour of the day," reports a camper at Keen Lake Resort Campground.
Safety considerations: River access points vary in depth and current strength. "With how shallow the river was, I would have been pretty nervous to take a tumble out of a kayak or paddle board. Maybe the river is higher at different times of the year," notes a camper at Roscoe Campsites.
Playground facilities: Check which sites have dedicated play areas. "Old school playground for kids, volleyball court. The rec hall had a piano, pool table, ping pong table and more," mentions a visitor to Happy Days Campground.
Tips from RVers
Hookup quality: Ponderosa Pines Campground provides various levels of service connections. "Well kept and peaceful. They have some entertainment, but nothing rowdy. Very nice people that are working hard on bringing it back to its former splendor," reports an RV camper.
Site selection: Premium sites offer significant advantages. "Love the KOA patio sites, worth the few extra dollars. Quiet and peaceful mid week," advises an RV camper who stayed at Honesdale-Poconos KOA.
RV size limitations: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger vehicles. "Great spots to setup your own tent as well as cabins and trailers," mentions a camper at Valley View Farm and Campground, indicating the flexible accommodation options available.
